The  Care  We  Take 

In  protecting  the  lumber  that  goes  into  our  mill 
work  products  enables  us  to  guarantee  the  Cjuality 
and  insures  complete  satisfaction  to  the  customer. 

hrom  the  time  the  lumber  leaves  the  sawmill  until 
it  is  required  in  our  mill  work  factory  it  is  thor¬ 
oughly  jmotected  from  the  weather.  Notice  the  800- 
foot  loading  platform — one  of  ten — in  the  small  pic¬ 
ture  ami  the  large,  well  built  rainproof  warehouses 
l>elow.  Is  it  not  reasonable  that  the  doors,  windows, 
frames,  moldings,  etc.,  manufactured  from  high 
grade  lumber  so  protected  should  be  more  satisfac¬ 
tory  in  every  way  than  the  same  articles  made  from 
lumber  e.xposed  to  rain,  snow,  hail,  soot  and  dust,

Methods  That  Make  Better 
Material 

If  we  could  show  you  throirith  our  new  mill  work  factory 
and  let  you  see  for  yourself  the  many  money  s-iviipL' 
devices  we  have  installed,  you  would  umlerstand  why  we 
can  underbid  all  competitors,  if  quality  is  considered. 

The  high  grade  lumber  which  you  .see  piled  in  the  big  ware¬ 
houses  below  will  not  be  tou(died  by  human  hands  until  it 
is  reciiiired  at  the  big  battery  of  niachines  in  our  factory. 
Each  pile  of  lumber,  containiug  nearly  a  carload,  rest.s 
upon  a  movable  tru<d<  which,  when  the  lumber  is  needed, 
can  be  quickly  transferred  to  the  tra(dcs  in  the  foreground 
and  iiu.shed  either  into  the  dry  kilns  or  wherever  reiiuired. 
All  lumber  handled  at  our  factory  is  unloaded  from  the 
cars  on  to  tliese  trucks  and  kept  ready  for  use  at  a 
moment’s  notice. 

Y'ou  can  see  how  different  this  process  is  from  the  usual 
custom  in  the  average  mill's  yard,  where  selections  are 
made  from  one  pile  and  another  and  carried  by  wagon  in 
small  quantities  (reiiuiring  much  time  and  labor)  to  the 
different  places  around  the  factory  where  the  workmen  are 
waitiirg  for  it.  All  the  money  saved  by  our  (luiek,  modern 
system  of  handling  lumber  GOES  DIRECT  TO  YOU  in  the 
way  of  better  mill  work  for  YOUR  MODERN  HOME.

Our  Building  Plans  Save  You  Money 


Successfully  Used  by  16,000  Builders 

Read  Every  Word  of  This,  Start  Right  and 
Avoid  Mistakes,  Delays  and  Big  Expense. 
Valuable  Advice  on  This  Page  When  You  Build 


ACCORDING  TO  OUR  PROVEN  PLANS 

There  are  several  advantages  to  be  gained  by  building  according  to  plans  that 
have  PROVEN  TO  BE  ABSOLUTELY  CORRECT.  It  is  quite  likely  any  selec¬ 
tion  you  make  from  this  book  -will  be  a  house  that  has  been  built  according  to 
our  plans  time  and  time  again.  Every  architectural  error  or  discrepancy  has  been 
overcome,  therefore  our  plans  are  GUARANTEED  FOOLPROOF. 

1.  You  know  exactly  what  the  material  will  cost.  This  means  that  you  will 
not  be  compelled  to  spend  more  money  than  you  had  originally  figured  on. 
THERE  WILL  BE  NO  EXTRAS. 

2.  The  building  can  be  put  up  in  LESS  TIME  than  it  takes  with  “Made  to 
Order  Plans,”  and  you  thereby  SAVE  MONEY  IN  LABOR. 

3.  Any  ordinary  carpenter  or  builder  can  put  up  your  house  without  requiring 
the  assistance  of  an  architect  or  an  architect’s  representative.  This  also  saves 
you  money. 

4.  You  have  our  GUARANTEE  TO  FURNISH  ENOUGH  MATERIAL  at 
the  price  named  to  put  up  the  building  complete.  No  extras  are  possible  and 
the  first  cost  is  the  only  cost. 

5.  You  have  our  guarantee  that  THE  MATERIAL  WILL  BE  SATIS¬ 
FACTORY  in  every  way  and  of  a  much  better  grade  than  you  could  secure  for  the 
same  money  by  purchasing  from  a  retail  dealer.  We  aim  to  give  you  a  grade  of 
material  that  will  insure  you  a  permanent  building. 

6.  You  have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  you  are  not  facing  an  experiment 
because  OVER  16,000  PERSONS  have  built  houses  according  to  our  plans  and  with 
our  materials.  We  can  refer  you  to  satisfied  customers  in  every  state  in  the  Union. 

7.  You  know  that  when  you  deal  with  us  in  selecting  plans  and  purchasing 
material,  you  are  dealing  with  the  originators  of  the  MAIL  ORDER  SYSTEM  of 
selling  complete  houses.  We  were  the  first  in  the  field  in  this  line  and  having  had 
so  many  years  of  experience  it  certainly  follows  that  our  plans  should  be  absolutely 
accurate,  since  nearly  every  one  of  them  has  been  used  several  times  and  all 
original  errors  eliminated.  Bearing  these  facts  in  mind,  please  consider  the 
impartial  statement  shown  opposite  in  which  we  set  forth  the  experiences 
of  people  who  build  according  to  plans  “made  to  order.” 

See  Page  6  for 


ACCORDING  TO  MADE  TO  ORDER  PLANS 

Here  is  what  you  have  to  face  when  you  decide  to  build  a  house  according  to 
plans  “made  to  order.” 

1.  The  cost  of  the  original  plans,  blue  prints  and  bills  of  material  will  run 
from  $100.00  to  $200.00.  Our  PROVEN  PLANS  cost  you  only  $1.00  and  this  dol¬ 
lar  we  allow  on  your  first  order  for  material. 

2.  You  may  want  to  have  the  original  plans  corrected  and  several  changes 
made  which  MAY  NEARLY  DOUBLE  THE  FIRST  ESTIMATED  COST  of 
the  house. 

3.  You  have  no  assurance  or  guarantee  that  the  amount  of  money  supposed 
to  cover  the  cost  of  the  material  will  actually  secure  enough  of  everything  to  put 
up  the  building.  On  the  contrary,  it  has  been  the  experience  of  all  builders  using 
private  or  special  plans  that  the  final  cost  runs  from  25  to  35  per  cent  over  the 
amount  originally  figured  upon.  This  is  impossible  when  building  from  our  plans 
and  with  our  materials. 

4.  Unless  you  are  careful  to  specify  stock  sizes  in  such  items  as  doors,  win¬ 
dows,  frames,  mantels,  china  closets,  etc.,  you  will  run  the  risk  of  having  to  pay 
SPECIAL  MADE  TO  ORDER  PRICES.  This  means  not  only  additional  cost 
but  embarrassing  and  expensive  delays,  whereas  if  you  build  according  to  our 
plans  you  know  that  our  lumber  yards  and  factories  are  stocked  to  their  fullest 
capacity  with  the  materials  specified  in  the  construction  of  our  Modern  Homes. 

5.  You  have  no  one’s  past  experience  to  guide  you,  no  one  to  whom  you  can 
refer  for  advice  or  for  any  statement  regarding  the  plans  of  the  house  itself  or 
the  materials  specified,  whereas  when  you  deal  with  us  you  can  refer  to  people  in 
every  state  in  the  Union,  any  one  of  whom  will  be  glad  to  tell  you  of  his  experi¬ 
ence  with  our  house,  and  perhaps  show  your  own  choice  already  completed. 

6.  Unless  the  party  who  furnishes  you  building  material  is  prepared  to  give  you  A 
BINDING  GUARANTEE  and  has  the  resources  to  back  it  properly,  or  unless  you  are 
qualified  to  judge  between  good  and  inferior  material,  you  may  have  to  pay  for  yearly 
repair  bills  enough  money  to  buy  yourself  an  automobile  or  pay  for  a  trip  to  Europe. 

If  you  Insist  on  having  special  plans,  although  we  don’t  recommend  this  method,  LET  US 
MAKE  THEM  FOR  YOU.  We  will  charge  you  only  the  actual  cost  of  the  labor  and 
we  will  protect  you  with  the  same  guarantee  as  to  the  quality  and  quantity  of  material 
furnished  as  we  do  on  every  house  illustrated  and  described  in  this  Book  of  Modern  Homes. 
We  can  save  you  money  on  plans  as  well  as  on  material.  You  owe  it  to  yourself 
at  least  to  find  out  what  we  can  do  for  you  before  you  spend  any  money  on  building 
books  or  building  plans  that  have  no  actual  experience  or  responsible  guarantee 
behind  them.

made  to  order  nearly  always  result  in  extra  money  for  extra  material.  The 
specifications  insure  correct  construction  and  safeguard  the  builder  against 
poor  workmanship.  The  BHI  of  Materials  quotes  PRICES  ON  LUMBER,

GOODWALL  SHEET  PLASTER  FOR  MODERN  HOMES 


Heavy 

^^ardbeard. 

Fire 

<^Resisting 

HardPatent 


WM)  Nol  Break  When 
Being  Nailed. 


Illustration  Shows  Actual 
Thickness,  5*16  Inch. 


ADVANTAGES: 

It  enables  you  to  do  a  better 
job  for  less  money  and  can 
be  applied  by  yourself. 

It  is  equal  in  service  and 
strength  to  a  lath  and 
plaster  wall. 

It  does  away  with  lath  stains 
and  hair  cracks. 

It  deadens  sound  as  effect¬ 
ively  as  lath  and  plaster. 

It  is  vermin  proof  and  can 
be  painted,  papered  or 
kalsomined. 

It  can  be  covered  with  a 
plaster  coat  of  any  thick¬ 
ness,  but  V4  of  an  inch  will 
be  sufficient  to  make  a 
smooth  and  seamless  wall. 

It  can  be  removed  and  re¬ 
placed,  in  sections,  for 
plumbing  repairs. 

It  is  clean.  You  will  have 
no  muss  and  dirt  when  you 
apply  it. 


WHAT  IT  IS:  Goodwall  Sheet  Plaster  is  a  fire  resisting  hard  patent  plaster  of  even  thickness  between  two 
sheets  of  heavy  cardboard  which  are  thoroughly  saturated  with  the  fire  resisting  composition.  The  Plaster  Finish 
adheres  firmly  to  the  surface.  Goodwall  Sheet  Plaster  comes  in  sheets  32x36  inches  and  takes  the  place  of  regular 
lath  and  plaster  at  less  cost  and  with  less  labor.  Sheets  contain  8  square  feet.  Shipping  weight,  1-1  pounds. 

Buy  This  Dry  Plaster  in  Sheets  for  Your  Modern  Home. 


HARD  PLASTER 
FINISH  APPLIED 
OVER  PLASTER  SHEETS 


We  will  be  glad  to  quote  you  a  price  on  enough  Goodwall  Sheet  Plaster  for  any  Modern  Home  in  this  book.  It  will  save  you  money  and  give 
better  satisfaction.  You  will  need  no  wood  lath;  you  will  have  no  big  plastering  bill  to  pay.  You  or  any  handy  man  can  apply  the  Goodwall 
sheets,  simply  nail  them  to  the  studding.  (See  illustration  below.)  Tlien,  for  the  finished  coat  you  can  use  a  quarter  of  an  inch  coating  of  our 
Specially  Prepared  Hard  Plaster  Finish.  Any  ordinary  plasterer  can  do  this  work  in  a  short  time  and  your  building  will  be  ready  for  occupancy 
within  a  few  hours  after  the  finish  coat  has  been  applied.  It  dries  as  quickly  as  it  can  be  put  on.  Do  not  overlook  this  proposition  if  you  want 
to  have  straight,  dry,  fire  resisting  walls  in  your  new  Modem  Home. 


The  illustration  above  shows  Goodwall  Sheet  Plaster  being  applied  to  the  studding.  When  this  is  done,  it  is  given  a  coat  of  Specially  Prepared 
Hard  Plaster  Finish,  of  an  inch  thick.  In  the  right  hand  corner  we  show  Joint  Tape  placed  over  the  joints,  after  which  the  entire  surface  Is 
given  a  coat  of  paint  or  kalsomine.  It  can  be  wall  papered  without  the  use  of  sizing.  For  the  best  results,  however,  we  recommend  a  ^/4-inch  coat 
of  Hard  Plaster  Finish.  You  will  then  have  fire  resisting  walls,  with  a  perfectly  smooth  surface,  which  can  be  tinted  any  desired  color  or  decorated 
like  any  other  wall.  You  will  find  the  prices  and  description  of  Joint  Tape  on  page  107  of  our  Mill  Work  Catalog.

INSIST  ON  THE  “HONOR  BILT”  MODERN  HOME.  THIS  PAGE  TELLS  YOU  WHY 


When  you  buy  an  Honor  Bilt  Modern  Home,  you  not  only  get  the  most,  but  also 
the  best  for  your  money.  Examine  carefully  the  two  illustrations  on  this  page 
and  see  for  yourself  the  actual  difference  between  the  two  kinds  of  construction. 
It  is  only  reasonable  that  a  Standard  Built  house  should  cost  much  less  than  an 
Honor  Bilt  house  of  the  same  size  and  design.  For  instance,  our  Honor  Bilt 
Modern  Home  No.  C2027,  described  on  page  17  of  this  1)ook  and  priced  at  $386.00 


can  be  furnished  in  Standard  Built  construction  for  only  $273.00 — a  difference  of 
$113.00  on  a  small  house.  But  when  you  have  read  the  eleven  reasons  why  you 
should  buy  the  Honor  Bilt  construction,  you  will  agree  with  us  that  it  is  well  worth 
the  extra  cost.  Buy  an  Honor  Bilt  Modern  Home  if  you  want  to  make  a  safe  and 
profitable  investment.

The  Most  Difficult  Job  Made  Easy 


These  illustrations  show,  better  than  words  can  tell,  exactly  how  we 
make  it  easy  for  you  to  build  your  own  home.  Here  is  the  most  difficult 
part  of  the  entire  undertaking  reduced  to  such  a  simple  proposition  that 
you  only  need  a  hammer  and  nails  to  put  up  the  framework  of 
your  house. 

Every  piece  of  lumber  shown  in  these  illustrations  is 
numbered,  so  that  it  can  be  taken  from  the  bundle 
without  losing  time  in  sorting.  Every  num¬ 
ber  corresponds  with  the  number  shown  on 
the  plans  which  we  furnish.

the  parts  together  and  the  job  is  done. 


Page  8  explains  how  much  material  we  cut 
and  fit  for  you,  proving  that  it  will  cost  less 
to  build  our  houses  than  any  other  ready  cut 
houses  on  the  market.  Actual  comparisons 
prove  this. 

Our  method  more  than  cuts  in  two  the  cost 
of  the  labor  in  putting  up  your  house.  You 
can  do  most  of  the  building  yourself.  Any 
handy  man  can  help  you.  Your  house  will  be 
ready  for  occupancy  weeks  ahead  of  the  time 
it  would  take  to  build  it  under  the  old  system. 


Each  set  of  window  trim  and 
each  set  of  door  trim  for  all  of 
our  Ready  Cut  Houses  is  shipped  one  set  in  a  box  as  shown  in  this  illus¬ 
tration.  When  you  are  ready  to  nail  them  in  place  they  will  be  as  bright 
and  clean  as  the  day  they  left  the  factory. 


Please  remember  that  the  material  in  our 
Ready  Cut  Houses  is  rigidly  inspected  for  qual¬ 
ity.  No  blemishes  permitted  in  our  high  grade 
window  sets,  door  sets  or  interior  trim. 

The  framing  and  dimension  lumber  is  No.  1 
yellow  pine,  the  strongest  wood  for  all  building 
purposes,  and  will  therefore  make  a  more  sub¬ 
stantial  building  than  hemlock,  Huron  pine  or 
spruce.  Our  doors,  flooring  and  trim  are  made 
of  CLEAR  YELI.OW  PINE,  which  takes  a 
beautiful  polish.

NO  DOt'BT  you  will  be  surpri.‘?ed  at  the  idea  of  getting  the  material  for  a  house  of  this  kind  for  such  a  low  price.  The  picture  of  the  house, 
however,  cannot  be  expected  to  -show  anything  of  the  quality  of  the  material  which  we  furnish.  This  is  what  really  sets  the  standard  of  value 
in  our  houses.  We  aim  to  provide  material  that  will  be  even  better  than  is  considered  necessary  by  a  good  many  people.  It  pays  to  do 
this,  however,  liecause  it  saves  extra  expense  bills  for  repairs  from  time  to  time.  For  the  roof,  we  specify  fifteen-year  guaranteed  Pire-Chief 
Shingle  Roll  Roofing,  dark  red  or  sea  green  in  color.  In  addition  to  this,  note  the  Craftsman  front  door  and  the  ornamental  trellis.

Here  is  a  house  that  is  a  real  bargain  in  price.  You  seldom  hear  of  a  house  of  any  kind,  all  the  materials  already  cut,  -which  can  be  pur¬ 
chased  for  le.ss  than  .?400.00.  For  Industrial  communities,  mining  towns  or  for  farmers  locating  in  new  sections  or  on  claims,  this  house 
stands  without  a  peer.  This  house  has  been  built  several  times  with  perfect  satisfaction  to  the  owners.  It  has  a  double  floor,  the  walls 
are  solidly  sheathed  and  sided  with  good  quality  lumber  and  lined  with  building  paper  so  as  to  insure  perfect  protection  against  cold  weather 
In  places  where  lots  can  he  secured  for  about  $100.00.  the  entire  cost  of  the  house,  labor  and  lot  included,  would  be  under  $700.00.  We  recom¬ 
mend  this  design  to  the  attention  of  subdivision  owners  who  want  to  dispose  of  their  property  quickly  at  a  fair  price.  In  industrial  centers 
where  large  numbers  of  men  are  employed  by  manufacturing  or  mining  concerns  and  where  it  is  necessary  that  they  should  be  located  close 
to  their  work,  a  number  of  houses  built  according  to  our  design  illustrated  on  this  page  would  sell  quickly.

You  would  scarcely  think,  on  looking  at  the  exterior  of  our 
Modern  Home  No.  C107B,  illustrated  on  the  opposite  page, 
that  the  interior  could  be  made  so  cheerful  and  high  class  in  every 
way  as  these  illustrations  prove. 

High  quality  of  material  for  interior  finish  always  suggests 
high  grade  furnishings  and  this  combination  never  fails  to  bring,

IN  THIS  BUNGALOW  we  offer  a  home  at  a  low  price  with  an  absolute  guarantee  as  to  the  quality  of  the  materials  we  furnish.  This  four- 
room  bungalow  is  suitable  for  almost  any  location,  but  it  is  particularly  desirable  where  low  priced  lots  can  be  secured,  as  in  this  case  the 
house  itself  and  the  cost  of  building  it,  together  with  the  lot,  should  come  well  under  $1,000.00.  This  is  a  remarkably  low  price  for  a  house 
and  lot,  ready  for  occupancy.  In  many  sections  a  four  or  five-room  cottage  and  lot  will  sell  for  $2,000.00  to  $2,500.00.  Notwithstanding  the  low 
price  which  we  ask  for  all  of  the  material  required  in  the  construction  of  this  bungalow,  there  is  no  sacrifice  of  quality  and  there  will  be  no 
shortage  of  material.  We  furnish  a  double  floor,  also  good  wood  sheathing,  and  plenty  of  building  paper  so  that  the  house  will  be  perfectly 
comfortable  in  the  coldest  weather,  at  a  moderate  expenditure  for  fuel.  As  this  house  can  be  built  on  a  lot  25  feet  wide,  it  is  suitable  for 
town  or  country.  For  a  farm  house  for  a  small  family,  it  represents  a  splendid  Investment.  It  is  gracefully  proportioned  and  when  nicely 
painted  will  look  well  in  any  community.

THE  KITCHEN. 


THE  LIVING  ROOM  AND  DINING  ROOM. 


The  two  illustrations  on  this  page  will  give  you  a  fairly  good  idea 
of  how  nicely  the  combined  living  room  and  dining  room  and  the 
kitchen  of  our  Modern  Home  No.  C248  can  be  furnished.  There  is  no 
reason  why  the  living  room  and  dining  room  of  this  house  is  not  just 
as  comfortable  and  inviting  as  the  living  room  and  dining  room  in  a 
much  higher  priced  house.  The  kitchen  is  a  lesson  in  economy,  labor 
saving  and  cleanliness.  You  will  note  the  dust  trap  in  the  right  hand 
corner  of  the  picture  and  the  handy  fuel  box  with  the  top  of  it  used  as 
a  table  in  front  of  the  window.  You  will  observe  also  that  the  cup¬ 
board  is  only  a  few  steps  from  the  sink. 

In  all  of  our  Modern  Homes  we  aim  to  give  the  customer  the  most  for 
his  money,  not  only  in  high  quality  of  material,  hut  in  economical  and  con¬ 
venient  arrangement.  If  you  are  looking  for  a  home  that  can  be  built  com¬ 
plete  for  about  $900.00,  you  will  make  no  mistake  in  ordering  the  material 
for  our  Modern  Home  No.  C248.  As  explained  on  the  opposite  page,  this 
house  was  originally  designed  by  United  States  architects. 
We  have  improved  somewhat  on  the  design  by  adding  an 
additional  door  and  porch  on  the  front.  This  gives  direct

You  Will  Be  Proud  of  These  Modern  Interiors 


Living  Room  and  Dining  Room,  Modern  Home  No.  C245. 

Modern  Home  No.  C245  is  a  bungalow  whose  exterior  appearance  suggests  extra  fine 
interior  arrangement  and  furnishings.  The  front  elevation,  as  you  glance  at  it,  bespeaks  richness 
and  comfort  on  the  inside.  A  glance  at  the  illustration  of  the  living  room  and  dining  room  above 
proves  this  conclusively.  Note  the  bookcase  colonnade,  the  beamed  ceiling,  the  massive  brick 
mantel  with  the  built-in  bookcase  on  the  side.  Note  also  the  extra  depth  of  the  living  room  and 
dining  room,  nearly  30  feet  long.  “A  $3,000.00  house,”  you  might  say,  and  you  would  not  be  very 

wrong,  if  it  were  built  in  the  ordinary  way.  Yet,  by  our  modern  merchan- 
dising  methods,  we  are  able  to  furnish  the  materials  for  only  $851.00. 


The  Bathroom. 

The  illustration  above  speaks  for  itself.  The  bathroom 
is  in  keeping  with  the  high  class  construction  and  fur¬ 
nishings  of  every  room  in  this  up  to  date  bungalow. 

Our  customers  are  proud  to  show  their  houses  to  their 
friends  and  we  believe  that  the  two  illustrations  on  this 
page  explain  the  reason  why.  Our  homes  are  homes 
of  quality — homes  that  can  be  built  with 
a  big  saving  in  labor,  time  and  money .

Gentlemen: — I  am  sending  photo  of  my  new  house,  built  according  to  your  plans  and  with  material  purchased  from  you.  I  could  not  have  been  better  satisfied  as  to  the  quality 
of  the  material,  the  promptness  of  the  shipments  and  the  way  I  was  treated.  I  saved  about  25  per  cent  on  the  material  as  compared  with  local  prices.  My  carpenter  said  it  was 
the  best  grade  of  lumber  he  had  ever  used.  Yours  truly,

This  illustration  is  an  exact  reproduction  of  the  interior  of  our  Bunga¬ 
low  No.  Cl51,  looking  through  the  living  room  into  the  dining  room, 
and  is  a  pleasing  picture  of  simple  elegance  and  homelike  comfort. 

Note  the  large  rustic  brick  fireplace  with  a  leaded  art  glass  sash  and 
a  scat  on  each  side.  The  Colonial  columns  and  balustrade  work  are  up 
to  date  features  which  are  being  used  only  in  high  priced  houses.  From 
the  first  impression  you  would  think  this  house  would  cost  over  $4,000.00, 
but  we  make  it  possible  for  you  to  build  it  for  less  than  $3,000.00. 

Compare  Ihis  house  with  similar  houses  already  built  in  your  neighbor¬ 
hood  at  a  cost  of  from  $4,000.00  to  $5,000.00.  There  are  many  reasons 
why  such  homes  are  usually  very  expensive.  Architects  charge  all  the 
way  from  $400.00  to  $150.00  for  a  set  of  plans  and  specifications.  This 
is  the  amount  we  save  you  to  start  with,  and  our  com¬ 
petent,  practical  and  expert  architects  specify  stock 
sizes  and  patterns  of  doors,  windows,  trim,  etc.,  which 


enables  you  to  buy  your  materials  for  several  hundred  dollars  less  than 
you  could  buy  them  if  they  were  furnished  according  to  ordinary  archi¬ 
tects’  specifications,  which  in  most  cases  are  odd  sizes  and  .patterns  and 
have  to  be  made  to  order. 

We  operate  our  own  sawmills  and  ship  lumber  direct  from  our  mills 
to  you.  We  also  own  and  operate  one  of  the  biggest  mill  work  factories 
in  the  country  and  ship  all  doors,  windows,  moldings,  in  fact,  a  complete 
line  of  mill  work  and  building  materials,  direct  to  you.  In  this  way  we 
save  you  several  hundred  dollars  usually  paid  for  profits  to  jobbers  and 
retail  dealers. 

Don’t  build  until  you  have  had  our  quotations  on  materials. 

Our  plans  are  so  complete  in  every  detail  that  any  ordinary  workman 
can  build  any  one  of  the  houses  shown  in  this  book 
with  no  time  whatever  lost  in  figuring  out  how  the  dif 
ferent  parts  are  to  be  put  together.

IN  OFFERING  this  biffh  class,  artistic  bungalow  to  prospective  builders,  we  are  pleased  to  be  in  a  position  to  assure  them  that  it  is  one  of  the 
richest  and  most  relined  examples  of  bungalow  craft  thus  far  submitted  to  the  public.  Experts  in  the  bungalow  building  line  declare  that 
there  is  a  reason  for  every  gable,  every  timber  and  every  window — in  fact,  that  it  is  a  house  with  a  purpose.  In  the  original  conception  of 
this  bungalow,  brown  was  ma*de  the  predominating  color.  The  treatment  of  the  roof,  siding,  finish,  floors  and  walls  of  interior,  with  a  careful 
blending  of  tone  from  the  darker  brown  to  light  terra  cotta  and  creams  produces  a  delightful  and  harmonious  contrast.  Tlie  illustration  of  the  exterior  shows  how  much  the  bungalow 
effect  is  strengthened  by  using  shingles  for  siding.  Tlie  rugged,  massive  cobblestone  chimney  adds  the  final  touch  of  stability  and  bungalow  character. 

Main  Floor.

the  living  room  into  the  dining  room.  Near  the  right  hand  end  of  the  living  room  a  single  swinging  door  opens  into  the  front  bedroom.  Note  tlie 
paneled  effect  and  beamed  ceiling  in  the  illustration  of  the  dining  room  on  the  opposite  page.  Here  you  will  find  a  handsome  buffet.  From  the  din¬ 
ing  room  a  pair  of  PYench  doors  open  upon  the  pergola.  Wlieii  this  is  adorned  with  fenis.  palms  and  hanging  baskets  it  can  be  made  an  exceptionally

’  ERE  is  a  house  that  is  a  real  bargain  in  price.  You  .seldom 
hear  of  a  house  of  any  kind,  all  the  materials  for  which  can 
be  purchased  for  $.338.00.  For  industrial  communities,  mining 
towns  or  for  farmers  locating  in  new  sections  or  on  claims,  our 
Modern  Home  No.  C107  stands  without  a  peer.  This  house  has 
been  built  several  times  with  perfect  satisfaction  to  the  owners. 
It  has  a  double  floor,  the  walls  are  solidly  sheathed  and  sided  with 
good  quality  lumber  and  lined  with  building  paper  so  as  to  in¬ 
sure  perfect  protection  against  cold  and  drafts.  In  places  where 
lots  can  be  secured  for  about  $100.00,  the  entire  cost  of  the  house, 
labor  and  lot  Included,  would  be  under  $700.00.  We  commend 
this  design  to  the  attention  of  sub-division  owners  who  want  to 
dispose  of  their  property  quickly  at  a  fair  price.  In  industrial 
centers  where  large  numbers  of  men  are  employed  by  manufac¬ 
turing  or  mining  concerns  and  where  it  is  necessary  that  they 


should  be  located  close  to  their  work,  a  number  of  houses  built  according  to  our  design  No. 
C107  illustrated  on  this  page  would  sell  quickly.

Bungalow  authorities  agree  that  this  style  of  archi¬ 
tecture  has  come  to  stay.  They  claim  that  as  the  years 
go  hy  the  bungalow  will  be  even  in  more  demand  than 
at  the  present  time,  and  should  one  wish  to  sell  he  will 
have  little  difficulty  in  finding  a  buyer  if  his  building  is 
constructed  along  the  new  lines.  While  the  bungalow  on 
this  page  is  neither  extreme  nor  extravagant  it  has  all  the 
earmarks  of  a  cozy,  well  planned,  artistic  home.  The  stucco 
work  of  the  porches,  with  red  brlck-on-edge  coping,  the 
gables  and  chimneys,  at  once  draw  the  attention  of  the 
paperby.  Then,  again,  the  Craftsman  front  door  and 
Colonial  windows  still  further  enhance  the  bungalow  effect. 
Main  Floor, 

The  living  room  in  this  bungalow  extends  the  entire 
width  of  the  hou.se.  The  specifications  call  for  a  brick

side  porch.  Directly  back  of  the  dining  room  is  the  kitchen,  for  which  we  specify  two  cupboards,  which 
make  a  pantry  unnecessary.  The  two  bedrooms  and  bathroom  are  entered  by  a  hall  off  the  dining  room. 

In  the  rear  of  the  back  bedroom  is  tile  much  desired  screened  sleeping  porch.  Inside  doors,  trim  and

Modern  Home 


No.  C189  Shown  on  Opposite  Page. 


TtllS  modern  country  residence  was  awarded  first  prize  in  a  contest  par¬ 
ticipated  in  by  one  hundred  farmers.  As  can  readily  be  seen,  it  is  a 
house  of  which  the  wealthiest  farmer  can  justly  be  proud  and  yet  our 
price  for  all  the  material  required  in  its  construction  places  it  within  the 
reach  of  the  man  of  average  means.  Note  how  gracefully  it  is  proportioned, 
how  well  lighted  it  is  on  all  sides  and  how  the  massive  porch  adds  to  its 
appearance.  The  windows  are  all  of  Colonial  design.  The  roof  is  made  to 
look  extra  handsome  by  the  use  of  our  fifteen-year  guaranteed  Oriental  Slate 
Surfaced  Shingles  in  red  or  sea  green.  These  shingles  need  no  stain  or  pre¬ 
servative  of  any  kind. 

First  Floor. 

From  the  front  porch  a  beautiful  massive  door  leads  into  the  living  room  in  which  we  provide 
a  console  with  a  large  mirror.  A  pair  of  French  doors  lead  from  the  living  room  into  the  parlor. 
Sliding  doors  lead  to  the  dining  room  from  the  living  room.  A  convenient  china  closet,  that  is 
often  used  as  a  serving  cupboard,  connects  with  the  pantry,  the  dining  room  side  having  a  glass 
door.  The  pantry  is  large  and  is  easily  reached  from  dining  room  or  kitchen.  Adjoining  the 
dining  room  is  a  large  bedroom.  Workmen  entering  this  house  from  the  rear  porch  pass  into  the 
washroom,  which  is  connected  by  a  door  with  the  dining  room.  Another  desirable  feature  is  the  shed 
to  the  left  of  the  kitchen,  also  outside  stairs  leading  to  the  basement.  The  main  stairway  to  the 
second  floor  starts  from  the  living  room.  Yellow  pine  trim  and  flooring  for  the  entire  first  floor 
except  the  kitchen,  which  has  maple  flooring.  Doors  have  five-cross  yellow  pine  panels  .and  white 
l)ine  stiles  and  rails.  Rooms  are  9  feet  high. 


Second  Floor. 

On  this  floor  are  four  bedrooms,  a  hall  and  bathroom.  All  rooms  have  elosets.  The  two  front 
bedrooms  are  lighted  by  four  windows  each  and  the  two  rear  bedrooms  by  two  windows  eacli ;

This  is  an  octagon  barn  of  first  class  construc¬ 
tion  and  is  becoming  very  popular  through¬ 
out  the  country.  Our  floor  plans  afford  an 
economical  arrangement.  There  are  stalls  for 
twenty-four  cows,  a  box  stall,  calves’  pen,  and 
room  for  a  silo  in  the  center.  We  will  furnish  the 
material  for  the  silo  for  $199.00  extra.  This  silo 
will  be  large  enough  to  hold  teed  for  the  entire 
season.  The  arrangement  of  the  stalls  makes  it 
very  convenient  for  feeding  and  for  cleaning.  The 
ventilation  system  is  of  the  best.  The  fresh  air 
intakes  are  located  in  the  ceiling  in  front  of  the 
cows.  The  outlet  flues  are  behind  them  and  expel 
the  foul  air  through  the  ventilators  in  the  top  of 
the  barn.  This  system,  causing  steady  circulation, 
gives  fresh  dir  all  the  time,  which  is  a  necessity  in 
a  dairy  barn.  The  stanchions  we  furnish  are  all 
of  an  approved  pattern  and  hang  on  pivots,  afford¬ 
ing  plenty  of  freedom  for  the  cow.  A  glance 
at  the  floor  plans  Avill  show  the  convenient  access 
to  the  barn  on  different  sides  by  means  of  swinging  doors.  A  large  driveway  with  doors 
big  enough  to  admit  a  full  load  of  hay  permits  filling  from  the  inside.  There  is  a  large 
hay  loft  on  the  second  floor  and  a  grain  bin  of  medium  size  for  feed.  Twenty-three 
windows  admit  plenty  of  light. 

Tlie  lumber  we  furnish  is  No.  1  quality.  Our  .six'f-ifleations  call  for  Sea  Green  Slate  Surfaced 
Hoofing-,  which  is  guaranteed  to  wear  and  retain  its  color  FOR  FIFTEEN  YEARS  without  staining 
or  preservative  of  any  kind. 

Paint  supplied  for  two  coats  outside  work,  your  clioice  of  color. 

This  big  barn  is  built  on  a  concrete  foundation  and  will  last  a  lifetime.  The  price  docs  not 
include  the  silo  shown  on  the  side.  If  interested  in  a  silo  of  any  size,  write  for  prices.

those  shown  in  the  large  one  with  rolling  doors  at  both  ends  and  a  driveway 
11  feet  wide  running  clear  through.  In  some  localities,  owing  to  the  climate 
and  the  nature  of  the  corn  raised,  it  is  necessary  to  have  corn  cribs  made  nar¬

AS  IN  the  case  of  hog  houses.  Government  experts  de¬ 
clare  that  fresh  air,  dryness,  sunlight  and  space  I 

enough  to  keep  the  birds  comfortable  are  the  prime  I 

essentials  in  poultry  house  construction.  The  building  [ 

illustrated  above  was  designed  by  the  United  States  De-  * 

partment  of  Agriculture.  As  can  be  seen,  it  provides  for  :-L- 

plenty  of  fresh  air  and  sunlight.  If  the  proper  provisions  Floor  Plan. 

are  made  to  keep  the  floor  perfectly  dry,  any  poultry  raiser  should  be  able  to  get  excel¬ 
lent  results  from  a  house  of  this  character.  Glass  in  the  front  of  the  house  makes  it  warm 
during  the  day  and  cool  at  night,  as  glass  radiates  heat  very  rapidly.  A  light  weight  of 
duck  cloth,  canvas  or  burlap  can  be'used  for  the  curtain  in  front.  This  provides  fresh 
air  and  still  protects  the  birds  from  a  direct  draft.  This  building  is  roofed  with  our  cele¬ 
brated  4-Ply  Best-of-all  Roofing,  guaranteed  for  twelve  years.  Paint  included  in  the 
above  price  sufficient  for  two  coats  on  outside  woodwork.  No.  1  yellow  pine  framing 
lumber. 

Poultry  raising  can  be  made  exceedingly  profitable  in  almost  every  section  of  the 
country.  The  high  price  of  eggs  and  the  ready  market  for  poultry  make  it  well  worth  the

WE  WILL  furnish  the  plans,  specifications  and  bill  of  material  for  $1.00. 
This  amount  will  be  allowed  when  you  send  us  your  order  for  the

page  94. 


On  looking  at  the  floor  plans  it  will  be  seen  that  entrance  can  be  made  from  either 
end  of  the  chicken  house  directly  into  the  feed  alley  and  from  the  alley  into  any  one  of 
the  pens.  These  are  four  in  number,  each  one  measuring  13  feet  6  inches  by  7  feet  6 
inches.  Wire  netting,  6  feet  high  around  each  pen.  The  dimensions  of  the  building  are 
28  feet  in  length  by  20  feet  in  width. 

Poultry  raising  has  been  demonstrated  to  be  quite  a  profitable  business  and  the  most 
noted  experts  in  this  line  agree  that  a  well  lighted,  well  ventilated  chicken  house  is  a 
necessity  where  the  biggest  profits  are  desired.  Especially  is  this  true  of  people  who 
make  a  specialty  of  select  prize  stock.  In  our  Chicken  House  No.  C221  we  provide  twelve 
big  windows,  six  on  each  side.  In  addition  to  these  windows  we  further  provide  four 
four-light  windows  which  swing  outward  at  the  top  of  the  building,  all  of  same  being  on 
the  front.  No  chance  for  draft  if  windows  are  left  open,  yet  this  arrangement 
gives  an  abundance  of  light  and  fresh  air.  For  the  roof  we  specify  our  4-Ply 
Best-of-all  Roofing,  GUARANTEED  FOR  TWELVE  YEARS. 


This  sturdy  little  building  has  been  designed  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
those  who  do  not  plan  raising  poultry  on  a  large  scale,  but  who  nevertheless 
demand  modern  methods,  good  material  and  economy  in  cost. 

A  passageway  3  feet  wide,  entered  by  a  door  on  the  side,  runs  the  entire 
length  of  the  chicken  house,  which  is  16  feet  long  and  10  feet  wide.  It  ha^ 
three  pens,  each  7  feet  wide  and  5  feet  4  inches  long.  The  pens  open  directly 
into  the  passageway  with  a  wire  netting  door  in  front  of  each  pen  and  be¬ 
tween  them  wire  netting  6  feet  high.  There  are  two  four-light  windows  in 
the  passageway  and  three  four-light  windows  on  the  other  side,  one 
for  each  pen.  For  the  roof  we  specify  4-Ply  Best-of-all  Roofing, 
GUARANTEED  FOR  TWELVE  YEARS.

I  I  ■  ^  I  Farmers  everywhere  recognize  the  advisability  of  having  a 

Floor  Plan.  Separate  building  for  machinery  and  tools.  Much  money  is 

wasted  by  not  taking  proper  care  of  the  machines  required  on 
the  average  farm  throughout  the  year.  The  rain  rusts  them  quickly  and  otherwise  im¬ 
pairs  their  usefulness.  When  protected  in  a  building  of  this  kind  they  are  always  in 
good  shape.  The  building  will  also  make  a  handy  workshop  for  necessary  repairs  on  all 
kinds  of  machinery,  vehicles,  harness  and  other  odd  jobs. 

The  machinery  and  tool  house  above  illustrated  is  16  feet  wide  by  36  feet  long  and  is 
13  feet  6  inches  high  from  the  foundation  to  the  peak.  It  is  lighted  with  ten  windows, 
five  on  each  side.  It  has  two  large  swinging  doors  at  each  end.  We  furnish 
No.  1  yellow  pine  framing  lumber  and  cypress  drop  siding.  Roofed  with  our 
4-Ply  Best-of-all  Roofing,  GUARANTEED  FOR  TWELVE  YEARS. 


The  milk  house  above  illustrated  is  a  solidly  constructed  building,  13  feet  wide  by  11 
feet  long  and  is  16  feet  high  from  foundation  to  peak.  It  has  two  water  troughs  in  which 
the  milk  cans  can  be  set  to  cool  until  they  are  ready  to  be  taken  to  the  creamery  or  until 
the  milk  is  disposed  of  otherwise.  On  the  left  hand  side  a  shelf  runs  from  the  door  to 
the  side  wall  and  extends  along  the  side  wall  to  the  water  trough  in  the  rear. 

To  the  farmer  who  wants  to  keep  his  milk  in  a  sanitary  condition,  this  building 
at  the  price  which  we  charge  for  all  the  materials  is  a  first  class  proposition.  We 
guarantee  a  good  grade  of  material  all  the  way  through  and  agree  to  furnish 
a  sufficient  quantity  to  build  it  according  to  our  plans.  No.  1  yellow  pine
